It felt like everything was getting back on track for once. I could focus on other things like finding a cure rather than where I'm going to sleep or the zombie a block away.
I was in the kitchen washing my hands, getting ready to cook something for me and Lane. He is upstairs on the balcany staring out over the village. Our balcany is at just the right height you can see over the walls. I imagine he is thinking of what else and who else could be out there.
I pull out some food and decide to make us something simple: a small frozen pizza and toasted garlic bread. As i wait for the food to finish I join Lane upstairs. There is a gentle breeze. I could also smell rain, but it was relaxing. I look over at Lane. The way his golden brown hair flows in the wind mezmorizes me. I get lost in thought until I see Lane staring at me.
"Jean? Are you okay?" He asks, a little confused.
"Y-yea.." I stutter, "I'm fine.." I look away blushing of embarrassment. I think I like Lane...
.......
"Dinner's ready!!" I call to Lane as he comes rushing in ready to eat. I hand him his plate of food and drink and I get my own food and drink then we both sit at the dinning table enjoying our meal. The angle I'm at, I can get a good view of his eyes. They are so beautiful. Wait! What am I saying?? I have to stay focused on the task at hand. After I get done eating, me, Lane, Jonas, and Marie, are all going out for a supply hunt. We have to go in a group to stay safe.
We finish eating and I do a quick wash on the small amount of dishes. I catch up to the others waiting outside for me. Jonas hands me a muffled shotgun and amo. I grab my pistol and amo for emergencies. We head out of the gates and go to the closest city.
.....
From the looks of it, we are in Kansas City, a very populated area, so we stay on guard. I see a small pharmacy a couple of blocks away as Jonas drives the small buggie.
"Me and Mari will go there. You and Lane go find a gas station or Walmart and get any food and water you can. While we are out, we will fill up the gas on this thing. Here's a couple of walkie talkies incase you can't find us or need to get a hold of us, but ONLY for emergencies." Jonas explains. We grab a couple of duffle bags, the walkie talkies, and our guns, then head out.
.......
We come across a small gas station and go inside. Surprisingly, there's still some food. I gather up the food while Lane gathers up any drinks and even medicine he can find. I walk backwards picking food off the shleves and go to turn around, but when I do I bump right into Lane. I can feel my face heating up.
"Oh! Sorry!" I blurt out and quickly make my way around him, trying to find my way out of the situation only to be stopped by his arm.
"What's been up with you? Any time you are around me you seem to get all shy and nervous." He sounds annoyed by this. I open my mouth as if I'm getting ready to speak. I was going to tell him. Why did I stop? "Well???" He was definately frustrated now. I turn away. Should I lie? I start coming up with an excuse. "Jean.. It's okay.. You can tell me anything. I won't judge you." I decide to tell him.
"I think... I have feelings for you.." I can feel his gaze upon me. Before I can react, I feel a pair of hands grab my shoulders turning me around. Lane was looking into my eyes, and I couldn't help, but do the same.
"I've liked you since the second I saw you.." He pulls me close and kisses me. We stand there for a while just kissing each other, in each other's arms. We finally pull away just staring at each other.
"I think I love you, Lane.." I whisper.
"I think I do too.." He whispers back. We do one more quick kiss. I hear tires squeal breaking us from our trans.
"We need to go now!!" It's Jonas. We run out to the buggie and zoom off with what we have. I look back behind us to see what looks like at least 30 zombies. I gasp. Lane pulls me into a hug and holds me to help calm me down. It does. We hurry back to the village and get inside safe.
.......
I plop down on my bed and want to just pass out. I don't even change my clothes. Lane walks in and lays beside me. We share a smile.
"Hey you." I say.
"Hey." He replies, smiling back.
"I'm so wore out." I admit.
"Same here." He agrees. I curl up in a ball. He does the same, but wraps his arms around me, making himself spoon me. We slowly fall asleep.
